 * --shared optimization

   This is a very easy addition to "git remote add".  You make sure 
   that the added remote repository is on a local machine, and set 
   up alternates to point at its object store.

Concur.

Since I want to lose that dependency on cpio on Windows (which we fake 
by using tar), I'll implement this in C anyway.

It's not used for --shared (which is just writing an alternates file), 
it's used for -l, hardlinking locally cloned repos.  The code to replace 
cpio is already in the patch I sent, look for clone_local().

Sorry, that comment should have gone after another part of the original 
message.

My only two excuses are that I am ill, and am overloaded with work.

Ciao,
